'''Tara Singh Ramgarhia''' was a prominent [[Sikh]] leader, a [[Sardar]], brother of the famous [[Jassa Singh Ramgarhia]] (1723–1803).

In the late eighteenth century the Sikh domains were at their maximum extent, with territories that stretched from the [[Indus]] in the West almost as far as [[Delhi]] in the East, organized as a loose confederation of [[misl]]s, or states.<ref name=turbulent>{{cite web

The Sikhs had recovered from the period of Afghan influence in the [[Punjab region|Punjab]] that culminated in the [[Wadda Ghalughara]] (great massacre) in 1764, a mass killing of the Sikhs by Muslims led by [[Ahmad Shah Abdali]].
After that the three Ramgarhia brothers Jassa Singh, Mali Singh and Tara Singh were forced for a while to go into hiding, but later regathered their forces and recaptured their territory.<ref>{{cite web

Jassa Singh's brothers precipitated a crisis when they attacked and made Jassa Singh Ahluwalia a prisoner when he was passing through their territory. Other Sikh rulers came to Jassa's aid. Mali Singh was driven out of Dhasua and then [[Batala]] in 1780, while Tara Singh lost [[Kalanaur, Punjab|Kalanaur]]. The Samadhi of Tara Singh is currently located at village Thikdiwal, few Km North of Qadian, Batala, District Gurdaspur.

The son of Jassa Singh, [[Jodh Singh Ramgarhia|Jodh Singh]], inherited his father's title in 1803. On Jodh Singh's death in 1815 a dispute broke out over the succession, with Tara Singh's son Diwan Singh one of the claimants. In order to keep the Ramgarhia's loyal, Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]] divided up [[Jassa Singh Ramgarhia]]'s estates and wealth among the claimants.
